After a three-and-a-half-year hiatus due to COVID-19, Kairos has been invited to return to prison! Debbie Morrison, Suzy Speare, and Carol Updike are team members of Kairos #43 scheduled for April 13-16 at the Central Virginia Correctional Unit for Women outside of Richmond. Kairos is similar to Cursillo or Walk to Emmaus. It includes a three-and-a-half-day weekend program where a trained team of Christians go into the prison to carry God’s message of love and forgiveness to those incarcerated. Would you pray about partnering with us? You can participate in three different ways.
Prayer – Our goal is to have our weekend covered 24/7 in prayer. You can use this link to sign up for a 30-minute prayer slot.
Cookies – Each team member is responsible for 25 dozen homemade cookies. Would you bake cookies for us? There are very specific instructions that can be found here. Cookies can be brought to the church to the Kairos table in the atrium beginning March 26, April 2, and April 9. You can also leave cookies in the Admin Office on weekdays during normal business hours. The final day for delivering cookies is April 11. Read the specific cookie guidance here.
Financial Support – help offset the cost of supplies needed for the weekend. It costs about $100 per prisoner to attend such a weekend. Checks must be made payable to “Kairos of Va” with “CVCU” on the memo line.
